Does anyone else suffer?

I’ve suffered from these on and off for 30 years, usually in the run up to a ‘big headache’. I’ll get it for half an hour or so and then it fades and then the headache kicks in. It would maybe occur every 8 or so months.

I’ve recently started getting these happening every few weeks. Sometimes followed by the headache, but other times not. They are also lasting a longer time- up to 3 hours.

Trying to get a GP appointment at my practice is a nightmare (you have to get past reception!) and I’m not sure if it’s even worthy of wasting the doctors time. The episodes do pass and then I’m fine for a few weeks. I’m just wondering if the increased frequency of them needs looking in to?
